How rapid regulatory and geopolitical changes shape sustainability

The rapid transformation of the geopolitical, economic and regulatory dynamics in the US, coupled with competing stakeholder interests, challenges legal counsel and ethics professionals to navigate complex decisions while promoting the strategic interests of their organizations.

Join us for an interactive virtual discussion with leaders in legal, ethics and compliance as they grapple with concerns such as:

• How geopolitical and regulatory developments are affecting US businesses and their sustainability strategies
• What legal and ethical implications exist for strategic decisions on sustainability-related topic areas such as environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and artificial intelligence (AI)
• What strategies could leaders implement to address related challenges
• How decision-makers should think about rebalancing their regulatory priorities also in the global context with regard to sustainability

This session will help attendees explore the relevant legal and ethical dimensions for decision-making in today’s complex environment.
